This looks a good Jersey. SABER STRIKE created a really good impression when winning a Newmarket listed race over this trip on his second start and gets the vote but there are plenty of dangers, headed by 1000 Guineas fourth The Prettiest Star for last year's winning stable. Avicenna is a lot better than he showed in the 2000 Guineas and is also shortlisted along with Into The Sky, who patently failed to stay 1m in the Guineas, and Catullus, so impressive in handicap company at Goodwood.
